Leah Hinton & Thomas Stewart IV - 'Teach Me'

Soothing guitar arpeggios open Leah Hinton & Thomas Stewart IV's inspirational single, “Teach Me.” The introduction is peaceful and inviting. With just guitar at it’s foundation, "Teach Me' is full of rich harmonic colors. The guitar creates a gentle landscape for Leah’s vocal entrance. Leah sings, “Teach Me. Teach me all the ways to love and every way I can follow you. Oh teach me, teach me you.” Her voice is heart-felt, warm and tender.

After the first few phrases, the song’s harmonic structure begins to develop, taking the melody to unexpected places. Leah sings these harmonic changes with artistic grace and beauty. The song pivots on the phrase “I want to know you” and Thomas takes the vocal line. Thomas’ vocal performance continues where Leah's left off, with the addition of layers of vocal harmonies. Thomas has a pure tenor tone, coupled with the smoothness of Soul, that keeps the song flowing. This duo blends together effortlessly, at times giving an improvisational feel to the song.

At the end, both Leah and Thomas sing, “Teach me all of what I need to be.” Their voices respond to each other, then come together. Their refined vocal interpretation is deeply reverent and thoughtful throughout.
